I carry concealed a nice glock .40. Fits female hand great, but want a short barrel home invasion shotgun loaded for bear. Any recommendations on a reliable, relatively light-weighted weapon? Brand? Model? Thanks!
How often do you practice with your chosen HD load over realistic HD distances?
Mossberg 500 tactical. Just the sound of racking it will make most intruders scream “Mommy”.

Complete with Greek lessons for the kiddies, I see.
I wasn't referring to the end of the cord attached to the shotgun, but rather the other end of the cord and where that could end up while using the shotgun.
I'd be concerned that the loop could catch a finger or thumb and prevent rapid use of the gun, or that the end of the cord could become entangled on the trigger, perhaps causing an unintentional discharge.
It's the kind of concern which makes it advisable to carry handguns in holsters.
When I started hunting at age 12 I used my Dad’s 1948 Sears J.C. Higgins model 20 12 gauge pump shotgun.....
and I wonly weighed around 70 pounds. So even small people can handle a 12 gauge.
Are you teaching the Tortie how to read Greek ?

He and his wife are inexperienced. That’s why I think a shotgun is a better choice for them. They won’t have to worry as much about accuracy, and I can get them up to speed in a couple hours. The wife is strong enough to handle a shotgun.
Mossberg 500 (or Remington 870), 18.5” barrel, 20 gauge, and consider birdshot. I prefer the Mossberg to the Remington because I do not care for the cross bar safety of the Remington, but you can’t go wrong with either.
There’s a lot of really, really bad advice in this thread.
on my xmas list ....you have my address .... ;o ]
My boys love their 20 ga. Remingtons; I bought them youth models that had a slightly shorter stock and barrel set-up to accomodate juvenile or female body sizes.
Ammo should ought to be available although not necessarily cheap.
I have been thinking about wasp spray for my and my husband’s dog fanny pack. The other day, an aggressive dog tried to attach him and our dogs while walking. He sprayed the pepper spray, but it was too directional, and when it hit the dog around the muzzle, he licked it.
I suggested wasp spray and when we walk in the wilderness, I would like to have bear spray. I’ll see if it is available at our local Sportsman Warehouse.
Thank-you for the dialogue on this important subject.
There are subtle differences in chambers for each and what is safe to shoot in each, but ballistics they are essentially the same, with mil-surplus 5.56 being more of a penetrating round by design.
Mossberg 590 with ghost ring sights.
Glocks don’t use clips... they use MAGAZINES.
And yes, 10-20% fewer rounds than max capacity are best, IMHO.
Something's wrong. That's WAY high for a glock.
Maybe try replacing the magazines, or consider the possibility you're "limp wrist"ing it.
Both easily fixable.
avoid ghost ring sights. get a big dot tritium front post bead sight.
- all you need for indoor range. “K.I.S.S.”—
use the money you saved for practice/training.
I have a brace of Mossberg 500s. I prefer them over the 870 for a couple of reasons.

Get yourself some of those wireless remotes for the outlets your lights are on. If something goes bump in the night you can switch on the lights without leaving your prepared room.
